Amazon knows every year lakhs of young graduates ready to work for peanuts if getting a job in a branded company exist in india. They would simply replace these covid era comfort seeking moonlighting workers ,with new recruits who are ready to join the office and won't complain
Office culture is not always productive. Office politics and harrassments are actually bad for productivity. Daily commute wastes time and also causes so much pollution.
Reaching Office: Getting ready: 10-15 Mins Travel to office: 30-60 Mins Getting from parking to office via lift: 10 Mins Reaching Home: Getting from office to parking via lift: 10 Mins Travel to home: 30-60 Mins Changing clothes & getting fresh: 10-20 mins Approx 2 hours are wasted in this. Also, I have not considered the time spent in tea/smoking breaks & factors like stress of driving in traffic & inhaling vehicle smoke! Only a stupid person would like to return to Office if given a choice
Looks like so many people are jealous of others working from home. Most of the employers have either 100% work from home, or less than 2 days at office. It's very rare to find a company that has 100% work from office these days.
A friend of mine was looking at some of the colleagues who were at the office. His colleagues spent most time talking and discussing weekend plans, travel, shopping, food, etc for most part of the day...not to mention the walks in the campus and 1 tea and 1 coffee break during the day. His observation was their productivity dropped in office as they had company. They would have definitely worked more at home
Donno where you got your data from Palki…. We are happy and more productive working from home. We are sick of traffic jams and we are already stressed before starting work and more stressed after coming back home. With work from home now there is some balance between personal and professional life. I stopped paying parking tickets after working from home. I think you journalists are jealous of people who are working from home. 😡
Palki is there any company in the world that cares for employees? Your free advise to companies will not work. Companies are there to exploit and workers are slaves period.
Companies are selfish as well as coward, people sitting at management positions themselves want to Work from home but as said earlier they are coward and can’t resist the orders or threats from local businessmen whose business get impacted due to less people out of home.
The problem with such strict rules are that the most talented/skilled people will leave the company if they are not comfirtable with it because they can get another good job easily. But company like TCS can still implement it as they don't really have to worry about quality in most of the support roles.
The government is also requiring this. Countrywide office building are empty. The owners of these buildings have faced huge losses. Local businesses are closing down because of no customers.
is it normal people's business though to ensure these greedy businessmen and capitalists who own commercial buildings won't go belly up? they took the risk, bow face the risk. why is it when it's about real estate, it's always everyone's business to ensure that the property owner always have fat pockets?
@@yogeshshidhaye7332 Whenever you reply, do some research of the area. Don't feel compelled to say ANYTHING that comes out of your mouth.

I'm not an Amazon spokesperson and do not speak for the company. Can't they just WFH instead though? The Amazon population in Seattle is vast, but a good amount of team members don't need to meet in person to innovate in their roles. Engineers don't need to look over each other's shoulders to look at a screen when there's a screen share functionality in almost every comms app. Many workers have bosses and coworkers in other states/countries, so they'll have to go to work only to "collaborate" with their team via video call anyway! This whole thing has a cloak-and-dagger feel and it's sickening. Very "Strive to be Earth’s Best Employer" of Amazon to destroy work-life balance for folks essentially just for the hell of it. Not to mention this action will make an already crowded area more crowded and punish loyal workers by making them spend hours in traffic and make them pay for parking. Ridiculous.
Why do most people think that IT jobs are the only jobs? These IT people are able to do WFH just because people at power plants are working in shifts to ensure uninterrupted power. People with desk jobs like at banks, schools, etc are not crying for WFH.
same here, literally its a waste of time/energy/money to just commute unnecessarily, and adding to the mess, our employer is forcing to work out of a specific office building in the city, not allowing us to choose the one closer to our place even though in the same city,
The answer is not productivity, it is real estate value of commercial properties. If this demand goes down, most of banks that have invested would take a major financial hit. This is the reality, nothing else! Being transparent with employees helps in getting buy in. All our investments are tied to the banks, it is in everyone’s interest to get back to work and maintain the value of commercial spaces!!
Wfh- no need of daycare, no off time for clinic visits, can do all house chores, no need of childcare or after school programs. No work being done 100%
depends on what tasks are. some jobs requires workers to work in the office but if your job is facing the computer all your shift you can stay work from home and you don't even go hybrid setup.
Companies have become versions of modern Zamindars,only concerned about their productivity and treat employees as slaves.This is mordern and more sophisticated form of slavery
It's simple, real estate, a big part of the worth of these companies is in big expensive buildings and they are not going to lose on that just to please employees.
Simple IT employees in India indirectly and directly feed organised and unorganised sectors. Even though rents in metros are at its peak govt don’t even try to regulate and corporates want their productivity, culture and govts want other unorganised businesses to run tea stalls, sutta shops, road side break fasts.
work from home concept is dead since end of corona pandemic .. may employees are still hanging on to the work from home concept as its too easy for the employees to work from home at their comfort without supervision of managers .
Because honest leaders bring all facts to the table and lead based on the data. Not what they prefer for them, but what data speaks. Employee Employer relation in IT is more partnership based. You need to solve a challenge, we have the skillset, rather than 1 pay you so I'm your master. That generations old idea can't work for this generation, and most of the C suites are dinosaurs who are stuck in their generation. That's why the fuss about it.
And, yet my American Bank employer is reverting back to a work from home model after a failed return to office program. Tech employers have now realized that they can save more money and be more productive by allowing people to work from home.
It’s easier than you think. Convince all your colleagues to not go to work for 2 weeks. The employers will see what cost more between RTO profits and not generating revenue for 2 weeks.
I have friends that 'work' from home. you know...grocery shopping, laundry, working out, dog walks, watching kids, taking naps, etc. etc. etc. I completely understand why employers want their people in an office actually WORKING on what they are paid to do!
First of all a typical Manager in an American company has absolutely NO CLUE on his direct report's time utilization, resource allocation and manpower needs. Its the direct report's word and the manager goes by it. The WFH is not productive at all. If I need a quick answer to an issue that is holding my decision on a key task, I can walk up to the person's desk get the answer and move on. In a WFH scenario, I have to ping the guy- no telling where he is may be at the walmart / Home Depot doing some shopping and away from reach. YES this happens. Now the other person waiting for an answer has to wait till the guy comes back from errands. It is frustrating. You are Hired to come to the work place and conduct your daily job and it is a reasonable and agreed expectation. Why all the Fuss wanting to WFH, drawing a fat salary based on Seattle salaries and working out of a low cost farm shed in Arkansas. The job is an agreement and if you can't you can quit. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the mandate.
I’m happy that companies are asking employees to come back to office. As a final year medical student, I know that doctors will never have the leverage of work from home, so I’m happy that others can’t have this comfort anymore either.

Working from office is the best solution because it gives a better work life separation. Of course, on need basis. People can work from home few days in a year.

75K at home > 82 K in office - 2K clothing - 3K travel -1K lunches and tea outside - 6K living near to the big cities ( all # are subjective )
True
25k-30k a month easily if you have a family!!
Office culture is not always productive. Office politics and harrassments are actually bad for productivity. Daily commute wastes time and also causes so much pollution.
It’s a way to force attrition so that they don’t have to lay off people ..
That's an interesting take.
Reaching Office:
Getting ready: 10-15 Mins
Travel to office: 30-60 Mins
Getting from parking to office via lift: 10 Mins
Reaching Home:
Getting from office to parking via lift: 10 Mins
Travel to home: 30-60 Mins
Changing clothes & getting fresh: 10-20 mins
Approx 2 hours are wasted in this.
Also, I have not considered the time spent in tea/smoking breaks & factors like stress of driving in traffic & inhaling vehicle smoke!

Luckily i live in a country where hybrid/home work is the norm and more adapted then going back to the office.
Agree to a work in a workshop, so you will be more interested, get a answer to customer, not a call back in a super marketplace, or car while driving.
Indian corporates are already dispensed WFH, ask Reliance, Adani Tata, whats their policies. I hope you wll do some news video on Indian corporates.
RTO means implied layoff.
Some roles require on premise presence. I run a small firm, my scale (lack of it actually) does not allow me to go the work from home route.
